Ask HN: Will Anthropic or OpenAI start offering Chinese open source models? 3 points by Risse 1mo ago ↗ HN Do you think there could exist a situation in the market where either Anthropic or OpenAI will offer chinese models for their clients?
[–] Gecko4072 1mo ago ↗ I think they have a compute shortage and this wouldn’t look very good to investors.
[–] jqpabc123 1mo ago ↗ I think a more likely scenario is Anthropic and OpenAI clients start using Chinese open source models directly.Why pay more for a middleman if you can go directly to the source?The problem for Anthropic and OpenAI is to devise some political scheme to stop them.
[–] blitzar 1mo ago ↗ Will Ford or Tesla start offering German cars?Do you think there could exist a situation in the market where either Ford or Tesla will offer BMWs or Mercedes to their clients?
[–] paulcole 1mo ago ↗ So Anthropic makes a new model, Qwen or whoever learns how it works and makes their model nearly (but not quite) as good and then sells it back to Anthropic?Like the soap-making scene in Fight Club.
